USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Wireless Heart Rate Sensor

Main Unit

Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

The chest belt heart rate sensor is based on the electrocardiograph methodology used in hospi- tals. The MSC-2Dx uses this technology but in a simplified and miniaturized form. In this meth- odology, electrodes attached to the body sense the differences of electric potential and thus heart rate is measured. In the same manner, MSC-2Dx's chest belt sensor uses two built-in electrodes that come into contact with the body to detect differences in electric potential. The signal is then transmitted to the main unit and heart rate is displayed.

Reference:

Maximum transmitting distance: about 90 cm.

Before Wearing Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

Warning !!!

Pace maker users should never use this device.

NOTE !:

•Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in contact with your skin.

•To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with water or electrocar- diograph electrolyte cream.

•People with sensitive skin can wear the chest belt over a thin shirt with the electrode area damped with water.

•Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.

•Do not use this unit with other cordless devices (including CATEYE CC-CL200) or some lamps (including CATEYE Stadium Light). Interference might occur, resulting in incorrect measurement.
